This is the first main “drafting,” or stretching system; although
machines before have drafted to a certain extent. Six slivers are
fed into these machines and one gotten out of the front, weighing the
game per pound that one of the six in the back did; therefore the stock
is drafted or stretched six times. This is to even the sliver and to
get the fibres parallel.-—Photos by N. S. Turner. News engraving.
These machines take the place of the old hand card. The cotton
is fed into the back from the picker laps, in the form of a sheet; and
passed between two sets of very fine wire points; this gives a comb
ing, or carding action, where the remainder of the dirt is removed
and the fibres are worked into a parallel position. This machine
produces a “sliver,” or rope of cotton.

Farm Problems
Discussed by tbe
County Agent
Continued from Page One)
we have seen for a number of
y eflrs a nd if we can get enough rain
mature the crop on the stalk now
om* crop would be pretty good.
Qu , te a number o{ farmers call
at the 0{fice t0 see how much cot .
lon the y j lave planted. This is no!
i n€C . eS5ary as we mai , out a not jce
the 'day we are able to determine
the correct acreage. After the field
man checks the farm he returns
the map to the office and since hf
| reports to the office only once per
j week it is often a week after the
j arm pgg p een checked before we [
can (lo lhe 0 ffj ce work which mean
that the offke must ^ a week be
hind and due to the large number
of maps that the whole field force
will have out at a time it is often
that the office must be two week
behind the field work. At the prep
ent w’e are working two shifts in
the office and should complete the
work w'ithin a week after the fie'ri
work is done. At the present rat;
the field work should be completes
within two weeks, We have 1140
farms to measure and have already
measured over 700. With good
weather and no lost time by field
men due to weather and sickness we
can measure better than 200 farms
per w'eek. So you can see from this
that we should be about done with
the field work by August 1st. Then
1 he office work should be completed
within one to two weeks after th"
field w'ork.

Product Made
at Newborn, Ga.
There has recently located at
a factory for the manu
of wood-slat shades, a pro
no less popular in the South
in those sections of the coun
where extremes of heat demand
the most combaiant means of pro
viding personal comforts,
Wood-slat shades have long been
recognized for their counter-heat
characteristic. For years they have
widely used for making live- I
able throughout the day the open
and semi-enclosed porches of the
home, and through their utilization
the present-day sleeping porch has
become one of the essentials of the
modern home.
Strangely true, the thousands of
these wooden shades in service— J
found in practically every city block j I
of residences and in many of the
better type rural homes throughout,!
the South — have in the past all j
come to us from northern factories. I
Therefore, there is a uniqueness in
this new development at Newborn, j j
when you realize that it is the pic
neer plant of its kind in the South. ;
It is a fact that there is no other
factory south of the Mason-Dixon
line that produces a product In any
wise similar to these fabricated
wood shades. A further feature of
interest is the fact that the entire!
specialized equipment essential for
their manufacture was designed and
built by a native Georgian. Several
of these units have either been pat
ented or have patents pending.
Tfie lumber used comes from the
cypress swamps of southern Geor
gia, W’hich lies within that fringe
along southern United States in
which glow's the finest grade of
cypress on the American continent.
The cordage used comes from Geor
gia Mills—and doubtless from Grot
gia cot,ton. Surely the unquestioned
merit of a product so resulting could
^ stronger than^he civic appeal
it brings.
While th» new company also
manufactures Venetian Blinds of
better type- from the best grades
western cedar and basswood, in
with Mr, Gay its pres
it is easy to discern that his
and ambitions lean toward
adaptations and refine
of their fabricated products
materials.
Beginning operations in 1931 as
Shade* Mfg. Corp. of
for accomplishment of bet
distribution of products, remov
has been made to Georgia. Re
in 1938 under a Georgia
as Southern Shades and
Mfg. Company. Mr. Jno. E.
Gay became president of the new
as he had been of the old
one. When considering a rural set
ting for the new company, there
eame to Mr. Gay that charaeteris
tic yearning for a return to "the old
home town" of his youthful years,
This resulted in the location at
Newborn, and the resumption by
